Liberals celebrate 18 years of failure

I wonder which gathering will get more attention?
This one.

Thousands of protesters will gather in front of Fort Benning this weekend, just as they have for the last 18 years, to demand the closing of an Army school that trains Latin American military officers.

And look who is going to be the guest of honor? Now remember he wants to be Commander in Chief. Is this how you want your President to act? It would be kind of hard to go to the generals at the Pentagon and ask them for anything, doncha think?

Organizers say Democratic presidential candidate Dennis Kucinich is scheduled to speak at this year's rally, which is expected to attract more than 20,000 demonstrators to the Fort Benning gates when it starts Friday.

Or this one?

Meanwhile, a crowd of more than 20,000 is expected to gather Saturday in downtown Columbus for the annual God Bless Fort Benning festival, featuring radio personality Dr. Laura Schlessinger. The event celebrates the fort's role in the community.

I spent some time at Ft Benning, 2 different occasions in fact, and at no time did the protests against the School of the Americas ever number more then about a 100. The biggest nuisance is that the gate they gather at to conduct their little whine fest is the one leading to the housing areas, so families are more affected by this then the soldiers or the folks on the post. It is on a side road leading to the base and unless you stumble on it by accident you would never know those folks were there. The other funny part is the folks aren't there early in the morning. We used to run that way as part of our PT (Physical Training) in the mornings and you know I just don't recall seeing those people there at oh dark thirty in the morning. Now if some intrepid camera crew had stayed to cover I am sure they would have played it up.
Oh another interesting bit of news regarding Laura Schlessinger.

"I can't think of a better way to spend Saturday than thanking our troops and their families for their sacrifice," said Schlessinger, whose 22-year-old son - a specialist with the Army's 82nd Airborne Division - is currently serving in Afghanistan. "Besides, it will be a heck of a lot of fun."
